Now a Michigan resident, he can often be seen fishing from his kayak in one of the stateвЂ™s many lakes, though he occasionally will make treks back to Kansas or to other states to fish. Lots of negativity on the Internet, but IвЂ™d argue there is more positivity and we tend not to pay as much attention to it.вЂќДhuyvetter, who now lives in Grand Rapids, Mich., was a member of the Kansas State University Bass Fishing Team from 2011 to 2015, and fished in both the FLW and BASS college national championships.

That is one of the best parts of online communities - seeing us come together for good. Six hours later, I was calling my mom and freaking out. вЂњLast year, we raised $535 so I assumed $750 would be a fair challenge.

вЂњI stumbled upon a pink buzzbait I had (actually made this back in high school), and decided it would be a fun challenge. вЂњI started it last year when I was trying to think of how I could give back to something bigger than fishing,вЂќ Dhuyvetter said. Dhuyvetter has also been donning pink during his YouTube videos and other social media posts in support of raising awareness for the cause. After breaking his original goal, he moved the target to $1,000, which was topped again earlier this week. Manhattan native Ethan Dhuyvetter, better known by his YouTube handle, Online Outdoorsman, has raised more than a thousand dollars for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through an online fundraiser - eclipsing his original one-month goal of $750 in just six hours and blowing past his $535 total raised last year. Paradoxically, it accomplishes all that, injecting a freshness to his music that seemed to be waning on his last couple of releases.An angler with Kansas ties and a strong social media presence is doing his part - and then some - this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

In the end, Love in the Modern Age comes across as it was no doubt intended: the work of an artist trying something different to challenge himself and to keep his fans interested. Perhaps Rouse is, either intentionally or unintentionally, assuring us that this 80s homage is only temporary. A very Wilco-esque cathartic guitar solo, the only time the album really lets loose musically, wraps up the song and the album. That closing track, вЂњThere Was a TimeвЂќ, is a song of leaving behind the past and moving on вЂ“ an interesting (and even a little odd) way to end an album that intentionally looked to the past. вЂњSalton Sea,вЂќ вЂњTropic Moon,вЂќ вЂњWomen and the WindвЂќ and вЂњThere Was a TimeвЂќ could, with a minimum of reworking, fit easily onto one of his other albums. HeвЂ™s always had his own unique approach to his art and it comes through here in these songs about relationships, which has always been his stock in trade. What keeps the album successful is that thereвЂ™s not a strict adherence to a 1980s sound, and Rouse canвЂ™t help sounding like himself (which is a good thing). HeвЂ™s enough of a skilled songwriter that he delivers an engaging set of songs and while some (вЂњBusinessmanвЂќ, вЂњOrdinary People, Ordinary LivesвЂќ) donвЂ™t sound as timeless as others in his catalog, thatвЂ™s to some degree due to the retro production and instrumentation. To his credit, Rouse is able to pull off this record without it coming across like a gimmick, even if the cover shot shows him bathed in a purple and blue glow that suggests a mall video game arcade while he poses in Cory Hart вЂњ I Wear My Sunglasses at NightвЂќ mode. ThereвЂ™s nothing modern about this music in 2018. And, though, Rouse is looking back to those sounds of yesteryear, thereвЂ™s an irony in the title in that it was 30-odd years ago. There was a self-conscious modernity which ran through the 80s, with those futuristic synths and drum machines, and with computers and video games coming into their own.
